I posted this on GameFAQs but then I rewrote it better, here's the improved version.

WARNING you may wish to try this on a burned disc, I'll explain why later. I am not responsible for ANY damage to your game, system, or anything else, such as existance...

Before you begin you need a few GameShark Codes;

World Map Debug
D0198090 0000
80198090 0006

Battle Debug
8016BC1C 0003

Invite Alma
30061488 0000

Revive Teta
30061612 0000

Invited Teta
30061613 0040

Start a new game and give Ramza a Libra birthday. Play normally till after you meet Algus. Train at Mandalia Plains until Ramza has Steal Helmet and Invite.

Activate the Debug and Invite Alma Codes and go to Igros. The cutscenes will turn into battles instead because of the Debug Codes. When fighting Zalbag and Alma check her Zodiac, reset if she isn't Gemini (it is set to be random). Have Ramza steal her Ribbon and Invite her (Libra and Gemini have Good Compat. so it should work), finish the battle and turn the codes off.

Train Alma so she has Raise 2. Before Zeakden activate both Teta Codes and go there, Alma should be able to successfully (good Zodiac Compat.) cast Raise 2 on Teta. After battle she will ask to join, let her.

Continue normally until you reach Igros in Chapter Four to fight Dycedarg. Bring Teta, Alma and your best characters. The first half of the battle is the same, but instead of Dycedarg transforming his Elder Brother(DEB) shows up. DEB is the hardest battle in the game, he's basically Orlandu but FAR WORSE. here's his set up...

Job: Elder Brother/MAX Stats (999HP/999MP/99PA/99MA/50SP/100Br/0Fa/ETC)
Command: Rape Sword (Holy Sword, Mighty Sword, Dark/Night Sword, Zalbag's Ruin Sword, Beowulf's Magic Sword, Cloud's Limits [with no Materia Blade Requirement] and Draw Out)
Inherit/Equiped Abilities/Statuses: Transparent, Haste, Regen, Reflect, Shell, Protect, Damage Split, Blade Grasp, Defense Up, Magic Defense Up, No Charge (Limits and Spells go off Instantly), Teleport 2 (Never Fails)
(Meaning he takes and deals 1/6 damage when you attack him)

Chaos Blade (Regen and Petrify)
Escutcheon II (High Evades)
Ribbon (Immune to all Negative Statuses)
Reflect Mail (Reflect)
Setiemson (Haste, Transparent)

Your ONLY hope of defeating DEB is lowering his brave and stealing/breaking his equipment. Starting with his shield and using Critical Quick with Defense Up will help. If you somehow manage to defeat him he will steal Dycedarg's Zodiac Stone and Transform. BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL, his new skillset is like Math Skill; no charge time or MP and selects targets by dividing. There are two major differences though, it can use ANY skill (Enemy magic like Grand Cross or Dark Holy, Summons; including Zodiac, Sword Skills, ETC) and an extra "Number" skill; Zero. There is approximately a 1/5 chance he will use it, if he does, IMMEDIATELY remove the disc and snap it in half before the animation loads.

yes beat velius by kicking him and then rturn to zeltenia where you have to balance the flower you bought between your butcheeks while saying i do the tango 47 times then they repeatedly ask you if you are the lemon when you finally say yes the make you put on your sandpaper pant and straddle a chicken while they pelt you with potions and chanting the the holy mantra "you aint nothin but a hound dog"

that is when you shall fight kanbabrif

But more importantly how do you get to fight the nose-stealing monster that steals everyones' noses at birth or arrival at Ivalice circa FFT, magna cum laude, corpus juris secundum, et cetera, ad nauseum... the black dog runs at night... o.O
